Answer:
20.4m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 0m/s
Distance = 53m
Time = 5.2s
Unknown:
Acceleration = ?
Solution:
This is a linear motion and we use the right motion equation;
S = ut +
at²
S is the distance
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time
Insert the parameters and solve;
53 = (0x 5.2) +
x a x 5.2
53 = 2.6a
a =
= 20.4m/s²
The only reasonable choice from this list is choice-A.
<h3>Newtons first law state that if a body is in motion it will be in motion and if a body is in rest it will tend to be in rest. This phenomena is also called INERTIA. Example: We tend to fall sideways when a car turn suddenly</h3>
